Exploring the beach with Daddy

Storm coming in

Chilly fall weekend, we laid low and relaxed a little

it was a long week of playing catch up being back from vacation

Dalton and I did manage to check out a flea market. Found a few treasures.

Still weeding thru the vacation pictures.

I love posting by themes, so dorky yet organized...lol

These are a view photos of beach related stuff. We were pretty close this year

we actually across the street from it. I didn't get much beach time cause of the baby. In fact I don't think anyone laid out or went swimming. The beach was a little rough from thanks to Irene. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Hoping to finish organizing my photos this week.

Beach access area for our house

This year we stayed in Southern Shores which was a little different than Rodanthe. I liked being close to activities Restaurants & things to do.

Testing out the pool temp

Look at those tan lil feet

Rays at the aquarium

Lil Sand crab Maddie loved chasing them

My shell stash love the deep purples

Thought I'd share a few vacation photos, I love the unexpected detail shots I found on my camera.  Some that are just pretty, some that are simple shots but still are treasured memories from our vacation. Such as the one of those cute hands holding a flower and the shot of her and daddy's feet learning

to play miniature golf. Remember the little things when taking photos, might not seem like much now but one day you'll look but and remember that moment

that event, that place, that thing...

Manteo

Nice lil coffee shop stopped for fruit energy smoothies

Neat building downtown Manteo area

Cute lil antique stores like this one

Waterfront area downtown Manteo

Our friends Kim & Kirk

I promise I am almost done with vacation photos...

These are a few shots of Manteo, I call it Man-teo,

but it's pronunouced Maneo.. those silent letters get you everytime don't they.

Anyway Manteo is a cute lil town near the Outer Banks.

We've been wanting to explore the town. As it's on our list of possible

future towns to relocate to. Super cute waterfront town, lots of little shops,

Antique stores, Restaurants. Adorable craftsmans style houses everywhere.

Oh and apparently Andy Griffith lives here now.

Loving this fall weather, headed to the pumpkin patch this weekend!

And hoping to hit some yard sales. Wishful thinking probably.
